Default Lesson Learned
Okay I think I actually learned a lesson. Do not cut blanks with the grain going in the wrong direction - sheesh! The lioness that I'm working on in butternut has the grain running horizontal instead of vertical and so far I've broken off and reglued both front legs and the tail. This little girl is only 2" high and now I have to figure out how I'm going to put the eyes in. PLUS on the first leg that I broke I used the wrong glue and have now gummed up 2 of my dremel bits. Good thing I'm what you might call tenacious (aka stubborn) as I am determined to finish this one as it is supposed to be a Christmas gift. Head Bange
